Etymology 1
- As an English surname, from Old English pinca (“chaffinch”). This would not be a native Germanic inheritance as the expected form would be finc, thus probably borrowed or contaminated from Vulgar Latin *pincio (see French pinson) and its related parallels.
- Also as an English surname, from rare Middle English pink (“something small”), presumably related to pinkie.
- As a German occupational surname for a blacksmith, from imitative pink(e)pank, after the sound of hammering.
- As a Lower Sorbian surname, variant of Pjeńk, see Penk.
